Blue Honey
« on: May 29, 2014, 12:58:25 am »
I saw this on Facebook so I don't know where the story started (there are BBC photos in the blog) but here's a link:

Not sure I could get past the colour of the honey to eat it, even if it did taste the same (well it can't quite be the same as pure nectar produced honey!).

I expected a jar of a clear, lavendar bluish colour, not a jar of 'paint'. Very off putting

This happened a few years ago with bees near an m&m's factory they were eating the coloured sugar coating and the honey was all different colours.
